Clip Summary

Bob joins Jay Seminara (of Seminara Construction), who is in the process of laying down a new cobblestone apron at the edge of the driveway. The apron serves two purposes: one as an aesthetic feature, the other as a barrier for the seashells in the rest of the driveway.

Before the stones can be put in place, Seminara digs a trench and lays in stone dust. The dust acts as an adhesive, holding the stones in place. Next, Seminara dry-fits the cobblestones.

To finish the installation, he taps the stones into place with a 20-pound hammer and fills in the gaps with more stone dust.
